The Census of Population and Dwellings has been an important source of information for Māori for more than a century. The 1991 Census was the first time since 1901 that a question on iwi affiliation was included. The iwi affiliation question has been included in each subsequent census, in recognition of the importance of including this traditional Māori institution in official statistics.

This profile is one of a set of iwi profiles based on data from the 2013 Census. The profile presents a wide range of information on the social and economic well-being of iwi, which will allow you to measure the development of your iwi and assist in future decision making and planning. The topics covered include: population, age and sex, te reo, education, labour force, unpaid activities, income, smoking, religion, number of children born, households and families, housing, and motor vehicles and telecommunications.

Statistics New Zealand gratefully acknowledges the contribution of Māori to the 2013 Census. It is through your participation that we have been able to produce these profiles.
